It’s All Good (Unless It’s Not)
Mental Health Tips and Self-Care Strategies for your Undergrad Years
A one-stop resource for undergraduates concerned about their mental health.
Anxiety and depression are increasing among undergraduates, but while resources abound, few students seek help when they need it. Written with compassionate insight, It’s All Good (Unless It’s Not) unpacks common sources of distress—including academics, isolation, family, and finances—and outlines concrete steps students can take to face these challenges and as well as guidance on when to find outside support. Filled with self-care tips, the latest research, and first-hand stories from students, this book is an indispensable mental health resource for anyone on the path to a college degree.
